• Develop scenarios using tools such as e-discovery platforms (Relativity, Everlaw), litigation management software, and deposition/trial preparation tools.
• Apply litigation methodologies to standards tracks (US: FRCP, Federal Rules of Evidence, state court rules; International: CPR, international arbitration rules) and produce reference pleadings, discovery responses, motions, and trial memoranda.
